Justice Department seeks 25-year prison sentence for Oath Keepers founder Rhodes

The US Justice Department asked a federal judge on Friday to sentence Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes to 25 years in prison for his conviction on seditious conspiracy and other charges over the attack on the US Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The department is also seeking a sentence of 21 years for another Oath Keepers leader, Kelly Meggs, who was also found guilty in November of seditious conspiracy by a Washington, D.C., jury.
